About This Home

Nestled on arguably the best corner in the West Village, 684 Greenwich Street offers a unique blend of historical significance and modern luxury. This pair of free market buildings, dating back to the 1860s, has been an integral part of the neighborhood for over 150 years. Originally purchased by Thomas E. Broadway, Jr., the property began as a stable/carriage house and a two-story, brick-clad wheelwright factory. The buildings have witnessed the evolution of the West Village. From shoemakers and liquor stores in the 1870s to popular bars and cafes in more recent times, these structures have adapted to the changing needs of the community. Notable tenants included John J. Coogan's saloon (c. 1906-1925) and the Cathedral Cafeteria (c. 1925-1965). The property's ownership remained within the Broadway family and their heirs for nearly a century, passing through generations until its first change of ownership in 1959. This continuity of ownership speaks to the building's enduring value and significance in the neighborhood. Today, this historic property has been thoughtfully gut-renovated to create three stunning three-bedroom apartments above two prime retail spaces, including the wildly popular French restaurant Libertine. The renovation seamlessly blends modern luxury with the building's rich history, retaining architectural features such as the original red brick facades, stone lintels, and decorative cornices. This rare offering provides an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of West Village history while benefiting from modern amenities and a thriving location. With its 94” of wraparound frontage on a prestigious West Village corner, mix of high-end residential and sought-after retail, and deep roots in the neighborhood, 684 Greenwich is not to be missed.
